Description

A French heirloom variety resembling Cinderella's carriage and earning it its nickname 'Cinderella' this pumpkin has attractive flame-orange-red flesh, low seed content and full, moderately sweet flavour, and so is excellent for cooking but is also popular simply for its decorative uses.

Sowing Advice

Very heavy feeders, they need soil heavily amended with manure, compost, or other source of lots of nutrients. Sow in place in full sun after last frost; or start a couple weeks earlier indoors, but never let squash transplants become root-bound, and do not disturb the roots in transplanting. Seed are sown up to one inch deep. Grow 4-5 feet apart.
